Picture Overload

Well, the pictures I've promised are finally here. Hopefully you won't get too bored with all of the unfinished rooms. As we paint and get things organized, I'll post the final products. Painting starts this weekend, and we even have a three day weekend to do it! My hopes are to get the kitchen, living room, and our bathroom and bedroom done (and hopefully the ceilings, too, since they're kind of a gray color).

Lola and Ginny... Ignore the dirty cloths on the floor.

My new 25 cubic foot fridge. I think I'm in love.

Inside of the fridge... It's HUGE!!

Inside of the freezer. It's HUGE, too, but we still need a deep freeze.

About to start signing our life away.

Let the signing begin!

First time in OUR home. =)

SOLD!!!

Kudos to you if you made it all the way through this picture overload!! The posts on final touches should be much more spread apart. It will definitely take us a while to get things exactly how we like them.

It's Ours!

Sorry for the lack of updating. I have been extremely busy lately with my mom and with the start of A&M. I've got to remind myself that this is my final semester! WHOOP! I can't wait to be done. It is very fulfilling to know that in just 4 short months, I will be graduating with my master's degree in early childhood education. I'm very glad that I went ahead and started grad school as soon as I finished undergrad because I know that I wouldn't want to go back at a later time.


As of Thursday, Alan and I are home owners! What should have taken about 30 minutes, though, took us over 2 1/2 hours. Got to love the government changing paperwork and being the guinea pigs with the new info. We sat with the previous owners for about half of the time. We learned a lot about the house (all good, thank goodness) and found out that she is an Aggie. How crazy is that? Apparently, a lot of Aggies live in our subdivision, with at least one of them being on our street. 


My mom has been a huge help this past week. She packed all of our china and crystal, so I didn't have to worry about messing it up. She is also helping clean tomorrow. Speaking of cleaning, I finally got the mop that I had been salivating over eying (does this word look funny, or is it just me?). We got the shark mop euro pro, which looks awesome. I'll be sure and let y'all know once I've actually used it, though.  I've also got some odds and ends for the house already, much to Alan's dismay. I just got so excited that I had to get a couple of things. 


I'll close with a picture of our new fridge, which is coming next Saturday. I've gotta get back to doing homework. Two assignments down, 1 to go.

House

So a couple of people have asked about pictures of the house. I don't really have any that I have taken, so I've gotten some from the internet to show. It's a four bedroom, two bathroom house with a kitchen, breakfast nook, dining room, and living room.

I've always wanted a red kitchen, and when I say red, I don't mean red accents or a red wall, but the entire kitchen red. However, since we're also going to have a sage green(ish) living room (darker than what is already on the wall), I do not know how that will actually work. Red kitchen + green living room = too much Christmas. I might have to resign myself to having a red wall or red accents. I just don't know what to do yet. The master bedroom and bathroom will also be painted. Our comforter (and bath towels) are gray with red accents (I like red, can ya tell?) and the rooms are a creamish/yellowish white. Not so good. So I'm debating between a red-toned neutral and a blue-toned neutral. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Well, we still have time for me to decide, but not too much time. We close January 29 and can start moving in Sunday the 31 (the current owners are leasing it from us until Saturday at midnight). We'll clean all day Sunday and start bring stuff in a little at a time on Monday (like when Alan goes to work) and then officially  be in February 6th, unless we can't get our fridge by then. We've already got our washer and dryer waiting to be delivered. We're waiting on the fridge to see how big the doors are first.

In the meantime, you can find me packing and cleaning up our rent house... Yuck!
